VIDEO | Simple Watercolour Painting

Hello there, today I have a card to share that I made for my aunt and uncle for their anniversary. I used a similar layout for a card in the past with ME bunnies. When I saw the WPlus9 Wishing You stamp set, I had the same idea. I saw THIS (fourth card down) card by Dawn Woleslagle and it inspired me to use watercolours for the colouring on the card.

 

 

I started off by stamping the bunnies and sentiment on to a piece of Strathmore watercolour paper. This paper has a lovely texture to it. I was worried that the images may not stamp well because of this but they stamped great.  I used Archival ink as this works well with water colouring and it is a nice dark black too.

 

 

I then painted the image using my Winsor & Newton watercolour paints. I started with a wash of colour first, dried this and then went in with another layer to darken it. I was going for a soft look but I still wanted it to look painted (if that makes sense!). The panel was then simply added to a SSS Fog A2 card base with foam tape.

I am really glad I went with watercolours for the image and not Copic Markers. I do like the soft look. I hope my aunt and uncle like it too! Thank you so much for visiting me today. Hope you have a great day!
